[R-sig-Geo] SpatialLines to SpatialPolygons convertion

[Torleif Markussen Lunde]

Hi 
 
A workaround could be to use Rgshhs or the modified version suggested in https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-geo/2009-February/005157.html 
 
Best wishes
Torleif

Emne: [R-sig-Geo] SpatialLines to SpatialPolygons convertion



Hi,

I have a short question.
Is there any workaround available which tries to convert a list of 
SpatialLines to a list of SpatialPolygons objects?

In my case I have a list of Lines objects coming from a gshhs 
(shorelines) file. The list represents 8 polygons of a given xlim/
ylim. Now I'd like to convert the list into 8 polygons in order to 
draw them filled out.

I could do it 'manually' and try close these lines heuristically but 
maybe there's already such a workaround available.

Thanks for any hint in advance!

PS The new maptools release is really nice :) Thanks!
